Resum

Using data obtained by means of the TWSTFT experience, we try to improve some parameters of the orbit of geostationary satellite (we are now considering the communications satellite Intelsat 706) with better precision what will redound to a better economic profitable use of this satellites, since their life will be increased while the number of maneuvers will decrease. At the same time, it will be possible to increase the number of possible satellites standing at a preassigned area of a few kilometers on the equator.
